Publicity and Community Education Programmes The Government's efforts alone cannot build a sustainable society. The Sustainable Development Division (SDD) has been establishing contacts with non-government organizations, green groups, academic institutions, the private sector and leading organizations, both locally and overseas, with a view to building strong partnerships in pursuing sustainable development. In addition, the SDD has launched a full programme to promote public awareness of sustainable development. Since early 2002, we have published a booklet on sustainable development for distribution to all schools and a wide range of community organizations. We have also, in collaboration with some non-governmental organizations, brought the message of sustainability to the wider community through an international symposium, roving exhibitions and presentations at public fora.
